OH YEAH WE HAVE A NEW BASS PLAYER.
This should have been in the earlier post. I blame the weed...oh, what am I saying, I could never blame the weed. I love it too much.
Anyway, Nick (our old bass player) decided to form some poncy throwback screamo band that sounds like Pg. 99 and Circle Takes the Square having a knife fight at an Orchid show. It's pretty fucking awesome, actually. They're called Watcher, and you should go listen to them/pre-order the 7" that Clue #2 records will be putting out very, very soon. You can pre-order the record here.
So Nick went traipsing off to the land of awkward time changes and lyrics about girls that dumped him in fourth grade, and we needed a new bass player. Which is when the Human Beard appeared on our doorstep.
Until now we had only heard rumours of this creature, seen the shaky Handi-Cam footage from '78, spoken to a few old timers out in the north country who swore they'd seen the mythical beast through a haze of moonshine and meth. But we had never believed, not truly anyway, until he knocked on our door and told us he could play bass.
His name is Jeff apparently, and besides having a hirsute chin blessed by the Allfather himself, can play bass like a fucking monster.
He actually has a few other bands that people seem to like (myself included), which can be found here and here.
The bass player is dead; long live the bass player.

As you can see, we have some holes in the tour, but those will be filled I'm sure (okay, I hope). WHATEVER. This is gonna be a rager of a tour, come and say hi to us.
In other news, I'm sure if you're reading this you've noticed we put up some new songs from our upcoming LP. You didn't? FINE, FUCK YOU. But listen to them. Let your friends listen to them. Let your Mom listen to them, then give her my phone number (don't worry, I won't try to replace your Dad).
The excellent Jason Robertson recorded and mixed this mother, and our good buddy Russell White mastered it. Big thanks to both of them, they are excellent dudes who deserve accolades and much more money than we could afford to give them. If you know either of them, buy them a beer.
Finally, some friends of ours down in California just started a new band called Griever. You can listen to their newest tracks here. Listen to them, they are excellent.
